M5S leader and ex-premier Giuseppe
Conte said Wednesday his party's support for Premier Mario
Draghi was not in question despite Foreign Minister Luigi Di
Maio leaving the M5S over differences on supplying arms to
Ukraine.
"Support for Draghi is not up for discussion," said Conte.
Senior members of the M5S gave differing signals on Wednesday
about whether it would continue to support Draghi's broad
coalition government after Di Maio broke away to form a new
group of around 70 members, Together for the Future (IPF).
"Support for the government is not in question," said
Agriculture Minister Stefano Patuanelli.
M5S MP Stefano Buffagni, however, said "we'll see" when asked if
the movement would remain part of the ruling coalition.
"We have to reflect," Buffagni said.
"In my opinion, it is one of the many issues we must address".
